I was a victim of propaganda.
My family still are.
It's easy to say, "You could have looked up the facts!" or that "You made a choice!"
But here is actually what happens.
You're an every day, kind, loving citizen who would do anything for your neighbors. You don't go out of your way to hate people, and you're mostly living your life, and not online often or connected a lot.
Then, one day a family member or close friend shares a story with you. 1/x
@quinnsentialOne Like this piece @quinnsentialOne I don't think many people realize this, especially the extent to which it happens with regard to news and politics. Seems awareness of consumer-related algorithms has occurred to some extent because of privacy issues and info sharing.
Thank you - appreciated this very much.
@UmbaSaffire At the very least of it, I think algorithm-directed content should have a huge warning label on it.
Like the poison symbol on bleach. 😂
@quinnsentialOne Perfect LOL😂
